The silver box in the middle. Stamped with 024. Thanks! I'm putting down sound deadening material and new pads and carpet on my 4door. 👍

Technically it's a liquid/vapor standpipe, so that liquid goes back into the tank and only vapor goes into the charcoal canister.

Can we develop you into a smartphone app?

"Joe, how much backspacing do I need to fit my new rims in the back of a 70 Cutlass S?"
